Our teams provide a wide and diverse range of services to over 1.9 million people living in Southampton and beyond. Unlike many other trusts in the country, we look after patients from the start of life to the end. This means that you have huge variety in the people you will work with, the patients you will see and the career pathways on offer to you.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
SUPPORT FOR YOU
To give you the strongest start in your nursing career, we offer a comprehensive two-week induction and a well-supported preceptorship programme. There are plenty of opportunities to grow and take the lead as you progress. We’re committed to support all our staff in achieving their personal and professional ambitions.
We think working here is pretty great, but you don’t have to take our word for it. Here’s what one of our newly qualified nurses said about working at UHS:
“I feel incredibly proud to be part of such a forward-thinking, innovative trust, and I hope to see many more people joining to share the same positive experience that I’ve had!”
